Damascus Sorocabana

Ivan Campos · Oct 31, 2004

This is not something you see averyday at the forums, guys! An integral damascus steel Sorocabana - the traditional knife from my region - forged by my friend Ricardo Vilar. The handle is of stabilized maple and the leather sheath is also by Ricardo. Not that ugly, I think...

Definitely an interesting knife. The damascus pattern is very nice.

Beautiful damascus. Did he forge it or use stock removal on a damascus bar?

Very nice, I realy like the handle shape, looks like it'd remain secure in the hand even if it was dipped in motor oil

Ricardo is an outstanding bladesmith. I have yet to see a knife he has made that I don't like.

Thanks for your comments, guys.
The damascus was forged by the maker, and he also makes some amazing mosaic patterns.
Keith, Ricardo is a very taented maker. Three years ago he had never forged a blade, can you believe? Besides that, he is a good friend, too.
